Also see my other comments below.

I think it is better to split this with a removal of old stuff and
updating a copyright notice and go as a last one in the series.

Drop useless __func__. With Dynamic Debug enabled it can be turned on
and off at run time.

Tx ACK ? Ditto for other comments.

You already printed action. Anything changed?

Deduplicate this. Perhaps at the end of switch-case print once with
whatever temporary variable value you want to.

Does the first one deserve loud WARN?
Otherwise, why is it defined at all?

Why _irqsave?

arbitration

You see, you have to be consistent in comments and messages.
Either use TXAK/RXAK, or more verbose 'Tx ACK/Rx ACK' everywhere.

I would split this assignment, so it will be closer to its user.

No need for a blank line here.

Redundant 'else'

Can't you return an error code from here, rather than injecting it
somewhere where it doesn't belong to?
